Subject: Problem in readlink() function?

According to the documentation I have, the readlink() function is supposed
to return ENOENT, EINVAL, or ERANGE in the errno global variable if the file
doesn't exist, is not a symlink, or is too long.

But I'm seeing that errno is being set to 0 for files that don't exist.

This is with the latest CVS source of path.cc

Thanks,
Jeff
